If you’re anything like Us, the thought of wearing a tight bra during the summer is level-10 offputting. When clothes are already sticking to our bodies, the last thing we want is a bra squeezing our midsections — especially common trouble areas like our upper backs and tummies.
21 Loose Amazon Dresses That Look Like They’re From a Parisian Boutique
But bras are an essential undergarment for most gals. If you want to get around wearing a bra, however, we have a few cheat codes! First, you could grab a dress with a built-in bra; second, you could opt for a dress with a smocked bodice or third, you could choose a loose dress with a busy pattern. Options two and three focus on covering up the nipples without a bra constraining the chest . . . brilliant!
So if you want to know what dresses we’re buying that don’t require a bra this summer, read on. Nobody will ever know you’re not wearing one . . . except for you, of course! Options starting at just $16.
You’re welcome, comfort queens!
